We're using Watchman at Twitter.  A week or two ago posted a dump of our
code to github, but I would advise waiting a day or two to use it, as
I'm about to pull a large number of bugfixes into it (I'll update this
thread and provide a link once I do so).

Great, I will have a look at it then!

Here's the most recent version:

https://github.com/dturner-tw/git/tree/dturner/watchman

Christian, the index-helper/watchman series are posted because you
showed interest in this area. I'm not rerolling to address David's
comments on the series for now.

Ok no problem. Thanks a lot to you and David for posting your rebased series!

Take your time evaluate the two
approaches, then you can pick one (and let me know if you want me to
hand my series over, very glad to do so).

Yeah, I will do that, thanks again!

To be clear: I think Duy's approach is probably best in the long term.
